St George Swim Club

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Today I acknowledge the St George Swim Club, as well as their President and Principal Coach, Robby Cox, for their excellent year in 2020. The St George Swim Club teaches beginners, right through to elite swimmers who compete on a national level. It is a fun and family friendly organisation that focuses on the enjoyment of swimming and it drives individuals to be the best that they can be. It is for these reasons that the team was nominated in 2020 with a Community Group Achievement Award as part of the 10th Anniversary of the St George Community Awards. These awards honour some of the many individuals, businesses and community groups who go above and beyond each and every day to make our community even stronger. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic with swimmers unable to be in the pool, Robby organised a number of land exercises to keep the team fit and healthy. This was a fantastic initiative and a testament to Robby's commitment to his students and I know that they will achieve some outstanding results in 2021.
